Starting the search. Testing out different ideas.

The client asks us to think some more and add more meanings to the logo. An arctic fox would be too bold and too vague.
Going back to think, but not abandoning the arctic fox entirely.
Developing the idea of a fox-hat but in a more minimalist style.

The result is too elegant and accurate. At first, the art director approves but after a discussion with the designer decides to go back to rougher shapes.

The art director chooses the second option.

Creating additional elements of the style and patterns as we go.
